Wonderland

Catherine Hyland, Wonderland, China, C-Print, 1981.2 mm x 1280.8 mm




Wonderland VI, China, 2011



Wonderland XIII, China, 2011


One of the photos is part of her Wonderland series which documents what remains of an amusement park conceived in 1998 to become the largest of its kind in Asia. Built near Beijing, the spectacular theme park was left to decay after funding was cut and agreement couldn't be reached over the rights of the land. The other two photos were equally fascinating: one evoked the manufactured landscape of Edward Burtynsky, the other brought you to a much quieter yet somehow uncanny universe.
